British Champions Day horse racing results

Overview

During the British Champions Day at Ascot, the Godolphin racing stable achieved significant success across several Group 1 races.

A central highlight was the Champion Stakes, where the horse Ombudsman, trained by John and Thady Gosden and ridden by William Buick, secured a victory. Following the win, which marked Ombudsman’s fifth Group 1 title, trainer John Gosden indicated the horse might retire to stud or compete in the Breeders' Cup Turf at Keeneland.

Godolphin’s performance extended to the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, where Talk Of New York, trained by Charlie Appleby, also secured a win.
